MSZN distribution registry opens its Phoenix Rises entry on May 7 at 7,200 paid spins logged, observed RTP 96.71%, sample window April 20 through May 6 across mid-stake ₱22 base bets. Provider-stated RTP for PG Soft Phoenix Rises on the default configuration is 96.74%; observed deviation in this window is -0.03 percentage points — well inside the registry's ±0.30 pp acceptance band.
The bench reads the phoenix-respin pool distribution because the title's bonus economics flow through the respin frame, not the base-game lines. The phoenix-symbol stack triggers a respin frame where remaining reels spin three additional times, with each respin granting an additional phoenix-collect chance. Distribution shape is what matters here — not the headline.

Phoenix Rises sits between Lucky Neko (slightly slower trigger, higher per-frame return) and Mahjong Ways 2 (faster trigger, higher per-frame return) on the PG Soft respin family distribution map. The title trades trigger frequency for variance compression — the average respin frame is the lightest of the three, but the trigger interval is the median position.
Time-of-day distribution effect
MSZN logs the trigger interval distribution across four time-of-day buckets: 00:00-06:00, 06:00-12:00, 12:00-18:00, 18:00-24:00 Manila local. The trigger p50 holds steady at 196 to 202 base spins across all four buckets — the title's RNG layer is not time-of-day-sensitive, and the slight median variance is within the registry's tolerance band.
Methodology
Single-stake bench on PG Soft default config. Spins logged via cashier audit feed at the partner operator. Phoenix-respin frames tracked individually with full respin-pool symbol drop readings. Outliers (top and bottom 1% of single-spin payouts) reported, not removed. The registry treats samples below 1,000 paid spins as exploratory and below 5,000 as preliminary.
What to watch
The phoenix-respin retrigger probability sits at 16% per respin frame on the bench window. Across 36 natural triggers in the sample, four frames retriggered into a second respin pool. The retrigger pool contributes 8.4% of total bonus return — meaningful, not headline. MSZN will reconcile the retrigger sample at n=50 natural triggers, projected late June.
